The reverse of this medal bears a diebreak at the bottom, which indicates that it was struck prior to 1881 (a medal in the collection of John Ford, Jr., struck before 1881, has the same sign of breakage at the bottom of the reverse).

Due to ongoing research, information about this object is subject to change.
